Dental Care and the Baby Boomer Population

Preventing Dental And Medical Complications with Aging

As baby boomers begin to age, the aging population, statistically, is growing at phenomenal rates. In terms of the healthcare system, it is expected out country’s healthcare programs and healthcare professionals will become burdened by the overwhelming aging population. In fact, many believe we will suffer a shortage of dentists, doctors and even nurses in the coming decades.

As a baby boomer, there are steps you can take in an effort to ensure you do not fall prey to this shortage of healthcare. One such area, that of dentistry, is expected to suffer greatly and as a result, the baby boomer, must work diligently, to care for teeth appropriately so as to prevent unnecessary decay and dental work.

For many patients I meet, there is a common misconception that losing teeth is a normal part of aging. It does not always have to be this way. With proper dental hygiene, and regular examinations, most baby boomers will continue to enjoy the luxury of having their own teeth throughout their lives. Preventive dental care always cost less (money, time, pain) than avoiding dental problems until it is too late.

Studies show that people who have their own teeth live longer than people who have lost their teeth! Not being able to properly chew food can lead to poor health! I have seen this many times over, having made several thousand dentures over the years. In many situations, the patients could have saved their teeth, but were too afraid to seek out treatment before it was too late. Sedation dentistry can make the fear of dental work a non factor, just give us call and we can explain how in great detail to you.

If you need to have teeth removed, or have lost teeth in the past, you do have options with properly fitted dentures and dental implants to help you chew again.
